PCAN-PCI Express FD – User Manual

1 Introduction

The plug-in card PCAN-PCI Express FD allows the connection of a

PC with PCI Express slots to CAN FD and CAN networks. There is

galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts between the computer and CAN

sides. The card is available as a single, dual, or four-channel

version.

The new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily

characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum

of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be

transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is downward-

compatible to the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, thus CAN FD nodes can be

used in existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CAN FD

extensions are not applicable.

The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface

PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN

connection are included in the scope of supply and support the new

CAN FD.

Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs

can easily access a connected CAN bus.

Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a

Quick Reference with brief information about the installation

and operation of the PCAN-PCI Express FD card.

3 Connecting a CAN Bus

3.1 Connection over D-Sub connector

The High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin

D-Sub connector. The pin assignment for CAN corresponds to the

specification CiA® 303-1.

Figure 1: Position of the sockets on the four-channel card (IPEH-004040);

dual channel card (IPEH-004027) only CAN 1 and CAN 2;

single channel card (IPEH-004026) only CAN 1

Figure 2: Pin assignment of High-speed CAN;

PCAN-PCI Express FD – User Manual

Low power devices (e.g. bus converters) can be supplied directly

with 5 volts over pin 1 of the CAN connector. Pin 1 is not in use at

the delivery state. For more information, see the next section

63.2.

Tip: Connect a CAN bus with a different transmission standard

via a bus converter. PEAK-System offers different bus converter

modules like the PCAN-TJA1054 for a Low-speed CAN bus

according to ISO 11898-3.

3.2 Slot Bracket with D-Sub Connectors

Figure 3: Dual channel slot bracket

Only four-channel card (IPEH-004040): To connect a CAN bus to the

four-channel card, use the supplied slot bracket. After you have

connected the cables from the slot bracket with the 10-pin sockets

of CAN port 3 and 4, you can connect the CAN busses with the D-

Sub sockets.

PCAN-PCI Express FD – User Manual

3.3 Voltage Supply of External Devices

External devices with low power consumption (e.g. bus converters)

can be directly supplied via the CAN connector. With a solder bridge

per CAN channel on the PCAN-PCI Express FD board, a 5-Volt

supply can optionally be routed to pin 1 of the D-Sub connector.

The current output is limited to 50 mA.

Do the following to activate the voltage supply:

Risk of short circuit! Solder with great care to avoid unwanted

short circuits on the card.

Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy

components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.

Set the solder bridges corresponding to the desired settings.

Figure 4 on page 13 shows the solder field positions on the four-

cha

nnel card (IPEH-004040). The solder fields for the single and dual

channel versions (IPEH-004026/27) are located in the same positions

and can therefore also be taken from this figure. The table below

contains the possible settings.

Risk of short circuit! The 5-Volt supply is not protected

separately. Therefore, turn off the computer before you

connect and disconnect CAN cables or peripheral systems.

3.4 Activating the Daisy Chain

Only four-channel card (IPEH-004040): The daisy chain can be

activated via solder jumpers on the board to connect a CAN FD

optimized connection to an existing CAN bus. This makes

interference-free operation possible at higher CAN FD bit rates,

because stubs and Y distributions are largely avoided.

When the daisy chain is activated, the pin assignment changes as

follows:

Note: The optional 5-Volt supply can not be operated

simultaneously with the daisy chain.

PCAN-PCI Express FD – User Manual

Do the following to activate the daisy chain:

Risk of short circuit! Solder with great care to avoid unwanted

short circuits on the card.

Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy

components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.

Set the solder bridges corresponding to the desired settings.

Figure 6 on page 16 shows the solder field positions on the to

p of

the four-channel card (IPEH-004040). The table below contains the

possible settings.

3.5 Activating the Internal Termination

The internal termination can be activated by solder jumpers on the

PCAN-PCI Express FD board, to terminate one end of the CAN bus

with 120 Ohms. At delivery the termination is not activated. A High-

speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated on both ends with

120 Ohms. Otherwise disturbances may arise.

Do the following to activate the internal termination:

Risk of short circuit! Solder with great care to avoid unwanted

short circuits on the card.

Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy

components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.

Set the solder bridges corresponding to the desired settings.

Figure 8 on page 19 shows the positions of the solder fields of the

four

-channel card (IPEH-004040). The solder fields for the single and

dual channel card (IPEH-004026/27) are located in the same

positions and can therefore also be taken from Figure 8. The table

low contains the possible settings. The table below contains the

possible settings.

3.6 Cabling

3.6.1 Termination

The High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated with

120 ohms at both ends. The termination prevents interfering signal

reflections and ensures the proper operation of the transceivers of

the connected CAN nodes (CAN interfaces, control devices).

The PCAN-PCI Express FD card has an optional internal termination

with 120 ohms. For more information, see chapter 3.4.

.6.2 Example of a Connection

Figure 9: Simple CAN connection

This example shows a connection between the PCAN-PCI Express FD

card and a control unit. The connection cable is terminated with 120

ohms at both ends.
